In quite a shocker, the mayor of our fair city opened up a small can of economic whup-ass on the mayor across the river. Steve Fulop told the Wall St. Journal that in his opinion de Blasio's comments about asking the rich to pay more. Fulop said de Blasio's "polarizing" comments have somehow "terrified" NYC business interests.
Where to begin. Is this some kind of coded message to wealthy individuals and businesses to look at Jersey City? Was Fulop having a Goldman Sachs flashback to his days there where criticizing anything populist or that didn't make the rich richer was reflex? Was he merely trying to raise his own reputation? Johnny has a pretty good idea why Fulop said what he said, but it's far more interesting to speculate on the big picture.
What say you Jersey City?
